+# Git Setup Guide
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Since Git is not currently installed on this system, you'll need to install it first.
+
+### Windows Installation
+
+1. **Download Git for Windows**:
+   - Visit: https://git-scm.com/download/win
+   - Download the latest version for Windows
+
+2. **Install Git**:
+   - Run the installer
+   - Use default settings (recommended)
+   - Add Git to PATH during installation
+
+3. **Verify Installation**:
+   ```bash
+   git --version
+   ```
+
+## Repository Setup
+
+Once Git is installed, run these commands:
+
+```bash
+# Initialize Git repository
+git init
+
+# Create main branch
+git checkout -b main
+
+# Add all files
+git add .
+
+# Initial commit
+git commit -m "Initial commit: Virtual Board Member AI System foundation"
+
+# Add remote repository
+git remote add origin https://gitea.pressmess.duckdns.org/admin/virtual_board_member.git
+
+# Push to remote
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+## GitFlow Branching Strategy
+
+This project uses GitFlow branching strategy:
+
+```bash
+# Create develop branch
+git checkout -b develop
+git push -u origin develop
+
+# For new features
+git checkout -b feature/feature-name
+
+# For hotfixes
+git checkout -b hotfix/hotfix-name
+
+# For releases
+git checkout -b release/version-number
+```
+
+## Pre-commit Hooks
+
+After setting up Git, install pre-commit hooks:
+
+```bash
+# Install pre-commit hooks
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run manually if needed
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) will automatically:
+- Run tests on push/PR
+- Check code quality
+- Perform security scanning
+- Build Docker images (on main branch)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Install Git for Windows
+2. Run the repository setup commands above
+3. Configure your Git identity:
+   ```bash
+   git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+   git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
+   ```
+4. Install pre-commit hooks
+5. Start development on feature branches
